September 19


If you are in Social 10-1 you had your library orientation today for the first part of class. Both classes wrote the Canadian Geography Quiz today. I also gave you some time to work on the next assignment, which dealt with regional challenges and "signposts" (indicators) of regional disparity. We will be exploring these issues in greater detail in the days to come. We will continue working on this tomorrow in class. Please don't forget that you have an assignment that is due tomorrow, the promotional brochure. Get it in on time!!


We wrote the Age of Reason Quiz today in class. The results of this quiz were quite good. I also told you that I wanted to set up an e-mail distribution list for this class so if you could come to class tomorrow with a working e-mail address that will be great. This will help me with distributing notes and PowerPoint presentations to you, rather than using valuable class time copying down notes. I had you read in Chapter 4, pages 61-73, which should cover most of the major events of the French Revolution. If you did not finish reading this in class, then please finish it tonight! Also, you will be having a European Geography Quiz on Friday. The quiz will consist of two maps which you must be able to label. The first map will be a political map, which will require you to label countries of Europe. The second map will cover major bodies of water and mountain ranges in Europe. Please study for this quiz. The following might be useful hyperlinks when studying for this quiz:

Does Physical characteristics include climate?

That's a good question. When you're looking at the physical characteristics of the environment the following are included: landforms, bodies of water, soil, natural resources, climate, and vegetation.

Does demographics information include the region's animal population?

Can we use point form for our brochures? And by detailed, does that mean the map needs many rivers and such?
